-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the Linux Counter summary as of Wed Jul 31 19:14:10 2002
There are 129455 persons registerd.
1407 users have been registered by friends.
There are 101028 machines registered.
I guesstimate that between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have
registered with the Linux Counter.
So the total number of Linux users is probably between
2,589,100 and 64,727,500 people.
